Non-Aspirating Diffuser

Published February 2000

An air diffusing device that delivers air into a space in such a manner that room air is not aspirated or mixed due to high-velocity jets. These diffusers generally distribute air perpendicular to the face of the diffuser. Frequent applications include animal rooms where drafts can be troublesome or in laboratories where aspirating or standard diffusers would cause drafts (i.e., near fume hoods or high air quantity locations). See also Aspirating Diffuser.
